Serves 4

For the French Toast

2cups Half and Half

1/3cup Amaretto Syrup

3teaspoons Cardamom

3 Eggs

1/4cup Amaretto Liquor

1 Loaf of Cinnamon Bread

1/2cup Butter for Skillet

Blood Orange / Cardamom Syrup

1cup Butter

5 Blood Oranges

1teaspoon Cardamom

1/2cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar

1/2cup Maple Syrup

Marscapone Cheese

Melt Butter for syrup in a metal saucepan. Juice three Blood Oranges and Slice the other two into 1/4 inch slices.

Add Blood Orange Juice, Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar and Cardamon to melted Butter. Then add Blood orange slices once de-seeded to the simmering syrup. Allow syrup to simmer while you cook your french toast but be careful not to burn.

Preheat your skillet to about 350 degrees.

Add Eggs, Half and Half, Amaretto Syrup, Amaretto Liquor, and Cardamom to a shallow bowl and incorporate all ingredients together.

Add butter to hot skillet and dredge your bread making sure to get it good and soaked then cook bread until firm and golden brown.

Serve Hot French Toast by topping with a dollop of Marscapone Cheese, Mascerated Blood Orange Slices and the warm syrup.

When I make this recipe I use Amaretto Syrup made for flavoring Lattes. Any brand will do but "Monin" and "Torani "are brands that I quite like. You can most likely find these in specialty food stores, the coffee aisle of your grocery store or some coffee shops carry syrup lines. Otherwise A simple syrup with a little extra brown sugar and Amaretto flavoring would suffice. : )

Is it possible that 'Amaretto Syrup' in the list of ingredients- is supposed to be 'cardamom syrup'? I ask because i'm not aware of an 'amaretto syrup' product, though of course, that could be my mistake.
